OTHER INFORMATION

Candidate completed the Freedom Voter Guide questionnaire.

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

The life of the mother.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Neutral

I am opposed to the destruction of any human life, but I am conflicted on this issue. There are strong arguments on both sides for IVF.

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

Neutral

The Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel issued a written opinion regarding the Comstock Act to guide the United Postal Service in the wake of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. The conclusion reached was that the mere mailing of such drugs to a particular jurisdiction is an insufficient basis to find a violation. The sender must intend that the recipient uses the drugs unlawfully. This is a high burden and it is unlikely to be prosecuted.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Minimum wage is for an entry level, unskilled position. Artificial increases hurt the people it is intended to help. Employers will respond with job force reductions, increased reliance on technology, or business closures.

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

Private property rights have been eroded and we need to course correct.

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Compulsory audits at each level of government; term limits in local government; improve accountability; reward whistleblowers for reporting fraud and/or abuse.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

A misunderstood phrase that has worked its way into our national dialogue about the role of God, especially Christianity, in our nation's founding.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

C

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Yes. It is the only non-Muslim and democratic state in the middle east and it is a strong ally of the United States.


IMMIGRATION

I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Strongly Agree

I support the expansion of gambling in my state.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

My beliefs and values are derived from the Bible. I was baptized and am a practicing Catholic. I raised all three of my children with Godly values through church attendance, volunteerism, and charity.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Fossil fuels, natural gas and nuclear energy are all reliable forms of energy to meet current and future needs. I am not opposed to exploring other reliable and sustainable energy, but not green scams such as solar and wind.


ABOUT YOU

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?

Apply the law without favor or prejudice and impose sentences that deter crime and punish criminals.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Strongly Agree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None. The Second Amendment makes it clear that individuals have the right to both keep and bear arms.
